The podcast episode is from "Young Business Minds," a show dedicated to helping young entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of business. The guest for this episode is Mark Bentz, an entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in business. Mark is a registered massage therapist, the owner of multiple clinics in Vancouver, a speaker, a Paralympian, and the founder of Electra Health and Pro Stretch Canada. He also recently became a trainer with Tony Robbins, which is a significant part of his life.
Mark was introduced to the hosts at a Tony Robbins event where they were helping the youth. In the podcast, he was asked to share his journey, which resonated strongly with the youth group attending the event.
One of the topics addressed during the podcast is what it means to own a massage clinic. Mark explains that massage therapy is the application of manual therapy to the body, similar to what physiotherapists or chiropractors do. Their work involves using their hands to create change in the body through different manipulations, movements, and stretching. People usually seek their services due to back pain, headaches, sciatica, or some type of sports injury.
Mark also shares that he became interested in massage therapy in his twenties, around the time he was losing his vision, a challenge he's been dealing with all his life. Despite this challenge, Mark had always been an entrepreneur and was studying kinesiology and marketing advertising in college. His struggle was figuring out how to manage being visually impaired while running a business in a sighted world.
